[mythtv] channel table auto-population

I've noticed the same thing.

I did find that using Zap2It for the data-source, I was able to remove all
the unwanted channels from the lineup.  This prevents those channels from
being downloaded at all, and thus not re-added to the database.  It probably
also helps out the Zap2It folks a bit by reducing the data transfer quite a
bit.
